When started from any process apart from + pid 1, in the normal "background daemon" mode, having to drop process- + group leadership also lost track of needing to create listener sockets. + +JH/13 Bug 2929: Fix using $recipients after ${run...}. A change made for 4.96 + resulted in the variable appearing empty. Find and fix by Ruben Jenster. + +JH/14 Bug 2933: Fix regex substring match variables for null matches. Since 4.96 + a capture group which obtained no text (eg. "(abc)*" matching zero + occurrences) could cause a segfault if the corresponding $ was + expanded. + +JH/15 Fix argument parsing for ${run } expansion. Previously, when an argument + included a close-brace character (eg. it itself used an expansion) an + error occurred. + +JH/16 Move running the smtp connect ACL to before, for TLS-on-connect ports, + starting TLS. Previously it was after, meaning that attackers on such + ports had to be screened using the host_reject_connection main config + option. The new sequence aligns better with the STARTTLS behaviour, and + permits defences against crypto-processing load attacks, even though it + is strictly an incompatible change. + Also, avoid sending any SMTP fail response for either the connect ACL + or host_reject_connection, for TLS-on-connect ports. + +JH/17 Permit the ACL "encrypted" condition to be used in a HELO/EHLO ACL, + Previously this was not permitted, but it makes reasonable sense. + While there, restore a restriction on using it from a connect ACL; given + the change JH/16 it could only return false (and before 4.91 was not + permitted). + +JH/18 Fix a fencepost error in logging. Previously (since 4.92) when a log line + was exactly sized compared to the log buffer, a crash occurred with the + misleading message "bad memory reference; pool not found". + Found and traced by Jasen Betts. + +JH/19 Bug 2911: Fix a recursion in DNS lookups. Previously, if the main option + dns_again_means_nonexist included an element causing a DNS lookup which + iteslf returned DNS_AGAIN, unbounded recursion occurred. Possible results + included (though probably not limited to) a process crash from stack + memory limit, or from excessive open files. Replace this with a paniclog + whine (as this is likely a configuration error), and returning + DNS_NOMATCH. + +JH/20 Bug 2954: (OpenSSL) Fix setting of explicit EC curve/group. Previously + this always failed, probably leading to the usual downgrade to in-clear + connections. + +JH/21 Fix TLSA lookups. Previously dns_again_means_nonexist would affect + SERVFAIL results, which breaks the downgrade resistance of DANE. Change + to not checking that list for these lookups. + +JH/22 Bug 2434: Add connection-elapsed "D=" element to more connection + closure log lines. + +JH/23 Fix crash in string expansions. Previously, if an empty variable was + immediately followed by an expansion operator, a null-indirection read + was done, killing the process. + +JH/24 Bug 2997: When built with EXPERIMENTAL_DSN_INFO, bounce messages can + include an SMTP response string which is longer than that supported + by the delivering transport. Alleviate by wrapping such lines before + column 80. + +JH/25 Bug 2827: Restrict size of References: header in bounce messages to 998 + chars (RFC limit). Previously a limit of 12 items was made, which with + a not-impossible References: in the message being bounced could still + be over-large and get stopped in the transport. + +JH/26 For a ${readsocket } in TLS mode, send a TLS Close Alert before the TCP + close. Previously a bare socket close was done. + +JH/27 Fix ${srs_encode ..}. Previously it would give a bad result for one day + every 1024 days. + +JH/28 Bug 2996: Fix a crash in the smtp transport. When finding that the + message being considered for delivery was already being handled by + another process, and having an SMTP connection already open, the function + to close it tried to use an uninitialized variable. This would afftect + high-volume sites more, especially when running mailing-list-style loads. + Pollution of logs was the major effect, as the other process delivered + the message. Found and partly investigated by Graeme Fowler. + +JH/29 Change format of the internal ID used for message identification. The old + version only supported 31 bits for a PID element; the new 64 (on systems + which can use Base-62 encoding, which is all currently supported ones + but not Darwin (MacOS) or Cygwin, which have case-insensitive filesystems + and must use Base-36). The new ID is 23 characters rather than 16, and is + visible in various places - notably logs, message headers, and spool file + names. Various of the ancillary utilities also have to know the format. + As well as the expanded PID portion, the sub-second part of the time + recorded in the ID is expanded to support finer precision. Theoretically + this permits a receive rate from a single comms channel of better than the + previous 2000/sec. + The major timestamp part of the ID is not changed; at 6 characters it is + usable until about year 3700. + Updating from previously releases is fully supported: old-format spool + files are still usable, and the utilities support both formats. New + message will use the new format. The one hints-DB file type which uses + message-IDs (the transport wait- DB) will be discarded if an old-format ID + is seen; new ones will be built with only new-format IDs. + Optionally, a utility can be used to convert spool files from old to new, + but this is only an efficiency measure not a requirement for operation + Downgrading from new to old requires running a provided utility, having + first stopped all operations. This will convert any spool files from new + back to old (losing time-precision and PID information) and remove any + wait- hints databases. Exim version 4.96 -----------------
